I've just moved my OS and Programs to a new SSD from my regular HDD and need help with my Smart Playlists.
I have 35,000 tunes in iTunes, stored with the iTunes program and all that comes with it, on an external HDD. As you can imagine (and many of you probably know) with that many tunes you need everything to be meticulously organised, or you'd never find anything. To that end I have over 500 Smart Playlists that cover my entire library. It's a simple system that works...but takes a long time to set up. I've done it from scratch twice before and it is time consuming and a little soul destroying, but the end results are essential.
I'm unwilling to spend the next few weeks setting them up for a third time. So, I need to find the file that has all my Smart Playlist definitions and transfer it into a new iTunes install on my SSD.
In previous iTunes builds I think it was the .xml file...but that seems to be a thing of the past. I could export the playlists individually as a HTML file then import them later, but that is still very very time consuming.
Does anyone know the exact location of my Smart Playlist Definitions??? I'll be your absolute best friend until my dying breath if you can help and save me the headache I currently face.
Thanks in advance!!
EDIT:Please don't ask me why I have so much music, or why I feel the need to have so many Smart Playlists. I have worked this system to suit my needs and it works brilliantly.
...until I have to move them.
